    Weak Peahen, Can't walk without stumbling and toppling over.

The first indication that I had that anything was wrong was on Sunday, 2 days ago. She was lying in her nest box inside the coop which she...

    Weak Peahen, lethargic, stumbles when she tries to walk

    I have a 3 year old peahen that lives in the aviary with a 5 year old male. The first indication that I had that anything was wrong was on Sunday, 2 days ago. She was lying in her nest box inside the coop which she never does. She is always sitting on the perch. I went in and encouraged her to...

    What to peacocks think about chickens?

    I posted a couple of weeks ago about one of our males that escaped the coop in January and reappeared after 6 months. He is living happily on the farm as a free ranging bird. We have one male and one female that stay in the aviary. The first couple of weeks, he, Farina, stayed really close to...

    Questions for those of you with free ranging peafowl

    Back in January, we lost one of our two peacocks. We had kept them for 3 years in an aviary with attached house. I foolishly opened the door to the house so some friends could see Farina, my blue pied peacock, He got spooked, and flew the coop, so to speak. He flew onto the barn roof where...

    How can I discourage my peacock from attacking us?

    Or at least, how can we best defend ourselves? We have a 4 year old black shoulder Spaulding that has just started being very aggressive with us. A little background...We had 2 males that were good buddies for 3 years. They were always very passive and even timid when we were in the pen. They...

    Bear Attack-injured hen

    We had a bear break into our coop last night. One of my Buff Orpington hens was nesting on the end that the bear broke open. He apparently grabbed a mouthful of feathers and tried to pull the hen out. We heard the commotion and chased the bear away before he could do any more damage. Upon...

    I think I know the sex of these birds, but can you confirm?

    I have a friend whose pair of India Blues hatched a pair of chicks in August. They are now 4 months old. I think she has 1 male and 1 female. Can someone have a look and see what you think? Male? Female? Male on left, Female on right?

    Need advice on using Tylan for respiratory illnes

    I have a flock of 6 laying hens. 2 of them are showing signs of a respiratory condition. One is mouthbreathing and making little cheeping sounds. She has been like this for a couple of weeks. Thought at first it might be the heat. She is active and eats well, poop is ok, no nasal discharge but...

    Chicken in distress. Seems to have breathing difficulty

    I have a 2 1/2 year old Americauna. This morning I noticed her standing alone, droopy tail feathers and stretching her neck and opening her beak. She's making a pitiful little cheepy sound. I had to leave for work, and I really expected she would be dead when I got home. She was still alive, and...

    Can I make a suggestion for Forum?

    Just wondering, Is it possible to modify the webpage so that when you click on a message and read it, it changes color? Seem like as I get older, the brain cells get fewer. I find that I can't remember if I've read a topic before, and waste time re-opening and re-reading threads. I think the old...
